Do we lose taste buds as we age?

Between the ages of 40 and 50, the number of taste buds decreases, and the rest begin to shrink,losing mass vital to their operation.  After age 60, you may begin to lose the ability to distinguish the taste of sweet, salty, sour, and bitter foods.

Unfortunately, yes. As we get older, our taste buds begin to fade and also begin to  disappear.
Hope this helps!

Which type of wires (copper, aluminum, or string) are ferromagnetic metals and why?
nalin [4]

Answer: Copper isn't ferromagnetic,

Aluminum isn't ferromagnetic,

String has a ferromagnetic property

Explanation: first of all it is important to understand that all materials have diamagnetic effect.

From this we can explain two distinct property which is Paramagnetism and Ferromagnetism.

1.What do we understand by a paramagnetic material?

Ans- this describes a material that doesn't retain it's magnetic property even when the magnetic field has been removed, an example is Aluminum.

2. Ferromagnetic materials describes those type of materials that even after the removal of magnetic field retains it's magnetism. A good example of this is Iron, nickel etc.

By definition ferromagnetism is a basic property ( which depends on temperature, crystal Structure, chemical composition, etc.) That gives a material that attraction to magnet's and can form permanent magnet.

So from the examples listed in the question,

1. copper doesn't follow as a ferromagnetic material because it requires so much magnetic field to operate and is so weakly magnetized.

2. We already established aluminium as a paramagnetic material because of its weak ability to retain magnetism in the absence of magnetic field.

3. String because of its component which is (iron+carbon) has the ability to form ferrous metals.

Plzzzzzzzzzzzz help me
dedylja [7]

Answer:

its TRUE

Explanation:

These plates lie on top of a partially molten layer of rock called the asthenosphere. Due to the convection of the asthenosphere and lithosphere, the plates move relative to each other at different rates, from two to 15 centimeters (one to six inches) per yea

Given the following values for the heats of formation, what is the number of moles of ethane (C2H6, MW 30.0) required to produce
baherus [9]

Answer:

0.641 moles of ethane

Explanation:

Based on the equation:

C2H6(g) + 7/2O2(g) → 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l)

We can determine ΔH of reaction using Hess's law. For this equation:

<em>Hess's law: ΔH products - ΔH reactants</em>

ΔH = {2ΔHCO2 + 3ΔHH2O} - {ΔHC2H6}

<em>Pure monoatomic substances have a ΔH = 0kJ/mol; ΔHO2 = 0kJ/mol</em>

<em />

ΔH = {2*-393.5kJ/mol + 3*-285.8kJ/mol} - {-84.7kJ/mol}

ΔH = -1559.7kJ/mol

That means when 1 mole of ethane is in combustion there are released 1559.7kJ of heat. To produce 1.00x10³kJ there are needed:

1.00x10³kJ * (1mole ethane / 1559.7kJ) =

<h3>0.641 moles of ethane</h3>

Which are characteristics of medusae?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Are sessile, have tentacles, mouths open downwards

Explanation:

Medusae may have many tentacles with which they catch their prey. Sometimes, people bathing in the ocean are touched by a medusa. Their tentacles are long and thin and covered in venomous stinging cells (known as nematocysts). They inject poison which immobilizes small fish. People who are stung should seek medical attention. There have been some deaths after severe medusa stings.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:  This is only a guess:  The "following chemical formula:      " doesn't appear on my screen.  But since you mentioned Mg and Cl, I would guess MgCl2

Explanation:  Mr loses 2 electrons while each Cl gains one each:  Two chlorines for every 1 magnesium.
